Some games don't work very well with cutscenes. Recently I finished playing Borderlands and the closest it came to a cutscene was when it introduced the bosses with a small action shot. Also, cutscenes would have had to wait until you had collected all the loot you wanted from a boss. Instead...

I grew up in a house where the computer is not for gaming so I spent over half my life playing console games (and by extension console FPSes). Only in the past couple years have I started playing some PC shooters and to begin with I royally sucked. Twin analog sticks just feel so natural, and...

Uncharted 2, the first time you see a guardian. I completely wasn't expecting it and was focused on climbing a wall when all of a sudden the foreground moves and there's a creature standing there.

The near impossibility of doing a 1080 in 1080 Snowboarding for the N64 and how the Need for Speed games were a lot more fun on the Gamecube (screw realistic racing, arcade racing ftw). Also, spending over 200 hours playing Battlefield 2: Modern Combat on the PS2 just to rank up to Brigadier...

Flower. I'm surprised no one's mentioned it yet.

People keep saying that the PSN is up in Canada and that they can play, but I still get the message saying that maintenance is occurring. Has anyone in Alberta been able to sign in yet?

Red Faction, to the best of my knowledge, started destructible environments.

Alert, at 817 km from the north pole, is the farthest north permanently inhabited place in the world, with five permanent residents, eh. The nearest city within the country is over 2000 km away (Iqaluit, Nunavut on Baffin Island). In case you haven't realized yet, I'm talking about Canada, eh.

You take that back.

Two months. TWO months. TWO MONTHS! What are you complaining about? I regularly have snow on the ground in six months of the year (Oct - Apr, I still have about 2 feet of snow in my backyard). Sometimes it's here for eight months (Sept - May). But I guess that's Brits for ya, complaining...

Up here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, the worst weather was an EF4 Tornado in the eighties. The worst I've experienced is the occasional whiteout. Edit: It was in 1987, F4, EF5 tornado (fujita and enhanced fujita scales). Peaked at 416km/hr (258 mph) wind.

One of the greatest single continuous take videos, Here It Goes Again by OK Go. http://youtu.be/dTAAsCNK7RA One of the greatest rock songs ever, Sabotage by Beastie Boys. http://youtu.be/z5rRZdiu1UE One of the funniest songs ever, I'm On A Boat by The Lonely Island...

"Oh no! I've lost my glasses! Wait, my eyesight's not that bad. I can still see pretty well without my glasses." Canada nukes the USA! Saudi Arabia converts to democracy.

Not everyone is a strategy master (or apprentice). My usual approach to Pokemon would be completely owned with Wondertomb. Also, this isn't supposed to be unbeatable, just really, really annoying. EDIT: That's why I keep switching your Pokemon and have max PP Splash. EDIT 2: I know...

That's why I'm level 100 with 6 full restore. Also, damaging you isn't the point, the spikes are there only because I put on Roar and Whirlwind. This is designed with the idea of getting you pissed off or bored so you rage quit.
